Air Products South Africa is looking for Bulk Drivers in Vanderbijlpark, Gauteng. This is a bulk appointment — the title “Bulk Driver X6” signals six driver positions — and the roles are permanent, with a market-related salary, medical aid and a bonus. The advert reference number is 2396206. Please note a closing-date discrepancy in the advert: the listing header says applications close on 27 December 2026, but the advert text says applications should be submitted by close of business on 06 November 2026. Treat 06 November 2026 as the safe deadline and confirm the date in the original advert before applying.
About the company and the work
Air Products South Africa manufactures, supplies and distributes a wide variety of industrial and speciality gases, using world-class production and distribution facilities, and the company holds an ISO 9001 listing. The Bulk Driver role is responsible for delivering the company’s Cryogenic Bulk Liquid product to its customers. This is safety-critical driving work: cryogenic tankers carry extremely cold liquefied gases, so careful vehicle checks, disciplined loading and offloading, and strict adherence to safety standards are at the heart of the job.
Role details and duties
The role, as stated in the original advert, includes:
- Carrying out pre- and post-journey inspections of the vehicle.
- Loading and offloading the tankers.
- Operating Bulk Cryogenic gas tankers to various customers’ sites.
- Executing duties as per the company’s processes and procedures.
- Completing the administration and trip paperwork.
- General ad hoc activities.
- Ensuring safety standards are constantly adhered to.
- General housekeeping of the truck.
The stated benefits are medical aid and a bonus, and the role follows a roster system that includes weekends and public holidays as well as overtime.
Requirements
Applicants should meet the following requirements, as stated in the original advert:
- A minimum of a Grade 12 or Matric qualification.
- A valid, unendorsed EC driver’s licence with a valid Dangerous Goods Certificate.
- A valid PrDP and own reliable transport.
- A clear criminal record.
- A minimum of 5 years of continuous articulated tanker driving experience.
- The ability to meet Air Products’ annual medical requirements.
- Willingness to work a roster system, weekends and public holidays, as well as overtime.
- An A or B score in Psychomotor Testing, and passing the company’s internal assessment, both written and practical.
- The ability to produce written reports on vehicle fitness.
- Good verbal and written communication skills, specifically in English.
Five years of cryogenic gas experience will be advantageous, though it is not listed as a strict requirement.
Where to find and apply safely
Apply only through the original Careers24 listing, using the Apply button on this page, which links directly to the advert. Be wary of anyone who asks you to pay a fee to secure a job or who contacts you outside the official listing: genuine employers do not charge applicants for placement. Because the advert gives two different closing dates, check the original advert before you submit, and aim to apply well before 06 November 2026.
Practical tips
With five years of continuous articulated tanker experience required, your application should prove an unbroken driving record in tankers, not just general truck driving. Make sure your EC licence, Dangerous Goods Certificate and PrDP are all current, and be ready to show a clear criminal record and to pass the company’s medical, psychomotor and internal assessments. Mention any cryogenic gas experience prominently, since it is an advantage, and show that you are comfortable with roster work, weekends, public holidays and overtime. Keep your CV neat, honest and free of errors.
How the process works
Applications are submitted through the Careers24 listing for this vacancy. The advert had 63 applications and 589 views at the time of writing and is marked as a Hot Job, so competition is strong. The advert sets out assessments that form part of selection — Psychomotor Testing and an internal written and practical assessment — as well as annual medical requirements, so expect those steps after the initial application. The advert does not set out further stages, so follow the instructions in the original listing.
